DrWhizBang's Journal: Happy Birthday Gina

Today is my wife's birthday. She turned twenty-nine for the first time ;-)

I woke the boys up early, and we skulked around the house preparing homemade birthday cards and toast with cheddar and jam (her favorite). It is nice to be a dad sometimes, when you see your children expressing love to their mother.

After they all went to school, I walked uptown to work, but stopped first at Appleby's, the local photo lab to get some pictures done (her birthday present). It's funny how used to gimp and photoshop I have become, I assume that everything should allow me to scale, crop, resample and change the mode of photos - Appleby's has a nifty little machine that will take your cd and allow you to pick your pictures, and then get your disk back. I like that better than leaving my disk there. It will also let you make gretting cards, puzzles, and silly things like that. But do you think it will allow me to convert my photos to black & white? Nope.

Disappointing, but not crucial - I told the salesperson what I wanted, and she will look after it, no problem. I guess I'm just spoiled.

Anyhow, happy birthday, honey. You will never read this here in a million years, but I felt like putting it here anyways.
